Aha! Now I understand. It seems this product can be used on non-porous surfaces like my porcelain tiles. I can't find any post or videos in the usual places where someone has actually used this for peel and stick tiles. However, I'm very grateful for your post as plenty of reviewers on...

Alas, I couldn't find any mention on the technical data sheet for prim grip that recommended for use on flexible vinyl PVC tiles.

Alas, too large an area to use a sealant/caulking gun. It'll be too messy with the adhesive squeezing out between the peel and stick planks. I'll have to use a spray that bonds two non-porous surfaces together. If I can find one... Failing that, I'll have to reluctantly overboard with ply and...

That reviewer that stated, "...this is a must!" is probably the review that I've misremembered. In that case, a wood floor (and not porcelain tiles) was used as a substrate to bond the peel and stick planks. I've overboarded with ply twice before with this kind of flooring and it's still stuck...

I've read every review for all versions of this product on B&Q. Alas, I cannot find the review I read on there some months ago about a customer who used a particular spray adhesive to bond these peel and stick planks to his porcelain tiles. I'm going to need more than an iron to bond two non...

Already attempted it. Stuck one plank down well for a few hours. Later in the day, the plank popped off the porcelain tiled surface. Without a doubt, I need some kind of adhesive that bonds well for two non porous surfaces. The surface is clean and totally flat. It'd be a real shame if I had to...

How to bond peel and stick vinyl tiles to porcelain? Too much trouble to remove the porcelain tiles now that the ceramic wall tiles are up. I got a same day response from Mapei advising me to contact the manufacturer. I won't waste my time with that as the manufacturer of these peel and stick...

Well, that's good news! Thanks. I'll get a solvent weld coupler on it. Thanks for your help. :-)

Yes - the vanity wouldn't reach the wall. From the socket in the ground, there is vertical pipe, 1st elbow, horizontal pipe (1" length), 2nd elbow then vertical pipe. Ideally, I'd like to have a run of horizontal pipe passing through the rear of the vanity. Please see red arrow in the...

I plan to cut the vertical hot and cold feeds (see picture) and use elbows on the horizontal 15 mm runs to enter the hot and cold feeds horizontally into the back of the vanity. Any way to adapt this solvent waste pipe (see picture) so it enters the back of the vanity unity horizontally? I...

Thanks for taking the time to reply JobAndKnock. According to the manufacturer, the exposed chipboard has already been sealed: https://www.heatandplumb.com/media/premier/fitting-instructions/file-32855.pdf From that link, it states "Any exposed carcass components have been treated to prevent...

I bought an MFC textured woodgrain vanity unit: https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/n ... t-arn2505d Our bathroom has high humidity and no extractor. I doubt very much that this vanity will make it through the winter without sealing - I have no idea what to seal it with. Also, I will be...

Thanks terryplumb. I've just successfully attempted what you described flying solo. I used a paint tub and some books to prop up the rad while I manoeuvred it in position! Thanks again. :-)

Hi All I'm about to start tiling my bathroom and want to replace my old 500 mm x 1000 mm towel radiator with a 500 mm x 1800 mm towel radiator. I'm not sure how to get a new towel radiator on as there is no vertical play in the pipes that come out of a solid wall. The previous owner replaced...

Thanks for the pointers Crank39 - much appreciated. I've seen a heck of a lot of videos on the subject so I'm (hopefully) prepared! Thanks again! :-)

Thanks Crank39 - much appreciated. I've checked and the key isn't in a semi locked position. It's the one uPVC door in the house that won't let you lift the handle all the way up when attempting to lock. It's clear that the hooks and bolts (right term?) aren't fully extending when lifting the...

As you can see from the pictures. One picture (with the wall light) shows a perfectly working door - rhino hooks and all the other components fully extend when the door handle is lifted. In the other picture the rhino hooks and all the other components only extend halfway or so when the door...

There's a few peaks and troughs so it'll likely need a levelling compound. Thanks both for the suggestions. :-)

Hello! I have some peel and stick vinyl planks to install in a small infrequently used en-suite. Size of floor is 225 cm length x 140 cm width. In my last house I simply fixed 6 mm ply down onto the floorboards using small countersunk screws (so as to avoid pipework under the floorboards) and...
